The engine is mated to a 4-speed gearbox, which is sufficient for city commuting and short highway rides. It performs decently at city speeds but struggles at higher speeds, making it better suited for urban use.

Acceleration (0-40 km/h): 3.42 seconds

Fuel Efficiency

The Hero HF Deluxe is known for its impressive fuel efficiency, offering around 70 kmpl in city conditions, making it one of the most fuel-efficient bikes in the 100cc segment. This high mileage makes it a perfect choice for those looking for a cost-effective, daily commuter bike.

Comfort & Ride Quality

Suspension Setup: Telescopic fork at the front and twin preload-adjustable shock absorbers at the rear help absorb bumps effectively. The bike offers a comfortable ride, especially for city commuting.
Handling: With a kerb weight of 112 kg, the bike is lightweight, making it easy to maneuver through city traffic. Its agility and responsiveness to steering inputs allow effortless handling.
Pillion Comfort: The long seat provides ample space for a pillion, with a single-piece grab rail for added convenience. Taller pillions might find the knee position a bit uncomfortable, but it is adequate for most riders.

Safety Features

Braking System: The bike features drum brakes at both ends, with CBS for balanced braking. The performance is adequate for daily riding, but might feel less responsive in emergency situations compared to bikes with disc brakes.
Side-Stand Engine Cut-Off: Prevents the engine from starting if the side stand is down, adding a layer of safety.
i3S Technology (Idle Stop-Start System): Available on the top-end variant, this feature helps conserve fuel by automatically shutting off the engine when idling for long periods and restarting it when the clutch is pulled.

Features & Convenience

Instrument Cluster: The analogue cluster includes a speedometer, odometer, trip meter, and fuel gauge, providing the basic information needed for daily riding. It is simple but effective.
Convenience: The bike includes a toolbox beneath the tank for small storage and an optional USB charging port for added convenience.
